This is how to wear leggings in winter
Say what you want about leggings, but, for better or for worse, they’re a staple in many of our wardrobes. Luckily, the gym-designated style takes on a new life when combined with a chic winter coat or chunky sweater. This winter, because, in all honestly, no one wants to wear real pants, take a style cue from one of these fashion girls on how to turn your leggings into a must-have cold-weather staple.
Monochromatic
We have a major style crush on this head-to-toe monochromatic burgundy look. The long maxi coat gives it an immediate sartorial upgrade and, better yet — will keep you cozy come frosty mornings.

Zip-up sweater
A zip-up or Troyer sweater is a chic tennis-inspired sweater that’s making its rounds in the closets of fashion girls this autumn/winter season. Pair the look with a leather boot and camel coat for an oh-so-cozy cold-weather outfit.
Layered under a dress
Okay, hear us out: whether you want to have your leggings on display underneath a dress or keep them hidden like long Johns, the spandex style can come in handy as a layer on frigid days.

Oversized button-down
Whether you want to hide the fact that your leggings are see-through or prefer to keep your bum out of sight, an oversized button-down is an easy and chic way to style a pair of leggings in winter.

Oversized blazer
In a similar vein to an oversized button-down, an extra-long blazer will keep prying eyes and offer a bit of wind protection to your bum. We love this Princess Diana-inspired look with an extra-large turtleneck to cozy up in.
